We pride ourselves on creating underwater photography courses for you. After all, improving your photos is what we are here for! Our approach is specific to the equipment you already own, not what you think you should own. By the end of a course, you will know which buttons to press when the time for that chance encounter comes. Find out more about our range of courses for all experience levels.

Our courses offer both “dry” classroom and pool sessions so you can really consolidate the skills you have learnt. Practising in and out the water in a calm, controlled environment means you really will know which buttons to press. So you can look forward to each dive with confidence.

Each of our courses is designed to address specific problems met in underwater photography that together, will guide you from holding a camera for the first time to a professional looking result. We will make sure you have high quality training materials in a variety of formats.

Why not take a moment to meet the reef, our custom built photography stage used in pool sessions!

We have carefully crafted a range of courses for all photographic experience levels, compacts through to SLR rigs. These have evolved out of our experiences as underwater photographers and handling cameras, day in day out. Each course is designed to address a specific aspect of underwater photography. Together these are the elements that have helped us improve as underwater photographers. And that means we use real examples of our successes… and failures! Meet the team today!

Had a wonderful day with Mario Vitalini (Fish in Focus) cramming my head with knowledge on lighting techniques, Settings for Manual Strobes, Wide Angle ,Macro, Super Macro, Snoot's and I even got to photograph some amazing plastical marine life. Top day out with a great instructor and a great guy. Cheers Mario. Five Star Service!!

Thanks for everything. Another unforgettable trip. Special thanks to Mario, I now know how to use my camera and feel confident to move away from auto settings! If all else fails, there is always Lightroom! I think we will be booking a few photography workshops at the lake

Martina Engels

Thank you so much FishInFocus for another highly productive pool session yesterday. Snoot and Diopter have been on my "to do List" yesterday. And as always after an afternoon packed with Wealth of Information, Playing and masses of Practical Tips I felt "Yes! I can do that!

Len Wells

Thanks for a great day. The instruction was invaluable. I didn't realise how much I did not know, but you informed with dignity and grace.

Nick Godfrey

Just want to give a big word of thanks to Mario Vitalini for hosting a great day for me today going over his level-2 course and some lighting techniques I've been struggling with. With the added help of a great pool session and his little Surrey reef system plus one to one theory sessions I'm now "fully manual" and looking forward to an upcoming trip to the Philippines next month

Lee Westwood

Just a quick email to say thanks again for an excellent session on Sunday. It was very enjoyable and very informative and it was great just to be able to spend time concentrating on the camera.

Nicola Willis

Thanks Mario for the advice on our new video lights, they are amazing. Had fun in the Maldives learning how to use them. I love my camera kit setup and I know Darren loves his too

Jan Bushe

Our thanks to Mario - he has been a star - what with the e mails going backwards and forwards with all our questions - he has so much patience - will certainly recommend him
